[Mgs] watch your chains

[Steven Trovato]

Never heard that term, so I looked it up:

PROOF COIL, known also as Common Coil chain, is the standard 
commercial quality regularly stocked by hardware and industrial 
supply houses.  It is a general purpose chain for pulling or 
restraining applications requiring neither a maximum of tensile nor 
impact strength.  It is commonly used for log chains and towing.

So I guess it really isn't anything special.  I think the most 
important thing is to make sure that the chain is rated for well more 
than the intended load.
